Description

Do you want to hike in the highest mountain in America? Then let me guide you to Confluencia, the first base camp of Aconcagua!

Located on the Province of Mendoza, Argentina, Aconcagua (6,960m) is the highest peak outside Asia. This mountain is a classic mountaineering destination, climbers from all over the world try to attempt its summit every year. It has an easy ascent route but it takes from 18 to 20 days to complete it.

Trekking to Confluencia, the first base camp of Aconcagua, is a perfect option for those who don’t have enough time for the whole route or just prefer shorter hikes. Meeting in Mendoza, we will drive to the Horcones Valley, the starting point of the route, and begin the adventure!

This is a one-day activity and the trail is mostly uphill but also easy. You don’t need mountaineering experience, but you should have a good fitness level: it is a 20-km round trip at high altitude. If the weather is nice, we will enjoy breathtaking views of Aconcagua and its majestic southern wall!

So, if you are up for this hiking day outing in the Argentinian Patagonia, please contact me. Let’s go to Confluencia, the first base camp of Aconcagua!

I can also take you to Plaza Francia, another famous spot on the way to Aconcagua’s summit. Check it out here.

Alpine Guide

I was born in Córdoba, Argentina, where I was able to venture into mountaineering more than ten years ago. I took my first steps in the Sierras de Córdoba, and from there, I set out to explore higher mountains.
Five years ago, I achieved my dreams when I came to Mendoza to become a professional mountain guide and earn a living doing what I love. Two years from now, we created our own adventure tourism company in Mendoza.
For the last 3 years, I have been working in a foundation, as an instructor in first aid and rescue in wild areas, training government agencies, guides, etc. I have made Advanced emergency medical technician in Buenos Aires, with real ambulance hours.

Join me in one of my programs and discover the Andes with me.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
